Ray,

Bulk mail bolder is Microsoft's old terminology for a Junk mail folder and
the company does not appear to have changed it.  It is not a deleteable
folder and you will not be able to get rid of it.  If the user is a paid MNS
subscriber, you will have an option to receive mail via pop mail.  Outlook
or Outlook express should use  the Pop mail option rather than the HTTP.
I've found the HTTP access to be rather unstable and problematic.  But, I've
not used that feature for several years so I can't say for certain that it
hasn't been fixed.

Dear Ray:

MSN uses the same log in screen similar to hotmail:

1.  Go to http://www.hotmail.com

2.  Type in the user name and password

3.  Once you have logged in the user might have one of three scenario's
based on their web based e-mail MSN basic web mail, Office Live Light Mail,
or Office Live  Full Mail.  

Office Live Full is based on the screen settings of 1024 by 768 or higher
resolution and Office Live Light is below that resolution and what was
recommended for blind and low vision users to use.  

4.  Click on the options button which will open a users list of options.  

5.  On the options page you will find the following settings.  

Options
Manage your account
View and edit your personal information 
Send mail from different e-mail addresses 
Junk e-mail
Filters and confirmation 
Allowed and blocked senders 
Customize your mail
Choose between the full and light versions of Office Live Mail 
Select language 
Reading pane settings 
Personal e-mail signature 
Save sent messages 
Automatically sort e-mail into folders 
Reply-to address 
Mobile alerts for new messages

This is a list view of web links and then you will be able to change the
settings you want from there.  

I hope this helps.  

Sincerely,

Subject: [VICUG-L] More on MSN E-mail Problem

Hello All:

Here is more on the person I'm working with who has an MSN e-mail
address and a Bulk Mail Folder in her Outlook Express folders.  Per a
suggestion I received from this list, I got her user name (e-mail
address) and password and signed into MSN on the web to check what
settings are in her web account.  I got onto the site OK, and the
closest thing I could find to a link to check e-mail settings was a link
that said "envelope hotmail" or something close to that.  I hit enter on
that link and the login screen came up again asking for the e-mail
address and password.  I put them in to see what would happen and
pressed enter, and a message came up saying a hotmail account was
reserved for you.  I didn't want to create a hotmail account so I closed
Internet Explorer.

So, my question is how do I get to the web mail settings for MSN
addresses?

Thanks,
